Pool Build - Pressure in Lines, BUT.... (Pics attached)

We are halfway through our second pool build (or at least what I call halfway.) The pool deck is supposed to be poured today. I noticed when I got home yesterday that there was water coming out of our skimmer - see pics attached. Also, I noticed that the dirt looked wet where the concrete will be poured.

OK Update - Skimmer valve was leaking, they replaced it, put the PSI pressure to 25. That doesn't really answer my question on why the ground next to the skimmer was wet. I guess I'll look at the pressure valve this afternoon and see what it is....

I can't see how they blocked off the lines to the skimmer... usually its upside-down U that you cut down the middle of the U and unscrew each leg... They put some water in the line when they pressurize so you can find the leaks... I would say that's a leak.. I had to have mine completely replaced (prior to gunite) due to a leak in the fittings. Typically I think they put 20 lbs of pressure in... so it has dropped...
